Is there any reason that the dedigner Clifford Von Wickler and the date 1931 are listed here?
The pen & paper game seems to have no known designer and is older, dating back at least to World War I.
See

Clifford Von Wickler is not even mentioned on this page.

Actually this name came from BGG, but yes it's unclear who is the actual designer of the pen&paper game:

And yes also for the date, the pen & paper version doesn't have a real date, 1931 is the date of the first "not pen & paper" edition, so maybe it would be better to put in something like 1900.
